A visit with Edward Halliday to the galleries at Burlington House to see some of the exhibitors putting final touches to their pictures and sculpture.
For the first time in the history of the Royal Academy the galleries at Burlington House will be open on the famous Non-Members' Varnishing Day - but to fortunate viewers only. The proceedings on this hitherto secret occasion will be televised direct from the Academy, and preceded by a special film made outside Burlington House on Sending-In Day. The Exhibition will open to the public on May 1.
